The Whissendine 6ix (six mile) road race and walk was first staged in 1985 and has become a popular event in the running calendar. The event starts and finishes in the Rutland village with the course following a natural circuit bordering Stapleford Park. All entrants receive a race memento and bottle of beer supplied by race sponsors Grainstore Brewery in Oakham, there will be prizes for all category winners. The village Brownies will provide a barbecue on race night.
For further information check out the Whissendine 6ix website. The site contains details of previous winners and all other information you may need to know to keep you up to date.
Just a few reminders:
1. you must be at least 15.
2. No dogs please.
3. No earphones is recommended – you’re running on open roads.
4. In light of some competitor’s last year turning up at the race without their number, can we reinforce that we send numbers and chips out within 3 weeks of entering, if you don’t receive yours in that timescale, please phone the Organiser so we can resolve.
5. If you forget your number on race day , there is limited ability to re-issue as we only buy the number of chips to match my maximum runner number, you may have a number issued but with no timing chip and probably wont appear in the result, but we’ll try!
